NEWS & NOTES: Who are the top running backs in the class of 2019 in the Peach State?

The junior has rushed for over 1,691 yards on 285 carries and 16 touchdowns in 10 games for Bradwell Institute on the season. Expect the Hinesville, GA native to start getting some more attention if he continues to playing at a high level.

JONATHAN SEWELL

POSITION: No. 20 RB

HT, WT: 5 foot 10.5, and 187 lbs

NEWS & NOTES: Jonathan Sewell is a talented class of 2019 running back prospect just down the road from UGA in Athens at Clarke Central High School. Last year, as a sophomore, Sewell ran for 1,042 yards on 128 carries at 8.1 YPC, and 10 touchdowns for the Gladiators. This season he topped the 1,000 yard mark again, rushing for 1,148 yards on 138 carries and 9 TDs in 11 games.

He has visited UGA several times and although he does not have an offer from the Georgia coaching staff as of yet, there is interest between the two parties. Sewell currently has four scholarship offers from Auburn, Charlotte, Ole Miss, and South Carolina.

RONALD THOMPKINS, JR.

CLASS: 2019

POSITION: RB / WR – No. 25 Athlete

HT, WT: 5 foot 11.5, and 190 lbs

SCHOOL: Grayson High School

CITY, STATE: Loganville, GA

STATUS: Undeclared

UGA OFFER: Yes, offered on March 25th.

# OFFERS: 12

NEWS & NOTES: Thompkins Jr. was offered back in March and then visited UGA for G-Day on 04/22/2017. He committed to the Florida State on May 9th but then de-committed from the Seminoles on Sept. 24th after taking back-to-back visits to Georgia on Sept. 16th and the 23rd. So, is UGA in play here?

It is an interesting development as the Bulldogs have the No. 1 and No. 3 running backs in Zamir White and James Cook committed for 2018. With Thompkins being a 2019 prospect, they very well could take a player like Thompkins as he has the potential to play at either RB or WR, and as we have seen, the Dogs have done a good job of spreading carries around to their tailbacks. He was back in Athens on Nov. 18th for Georgia’s final home game of the season versus Kentucky.
